Kaipātiki Stream Care Community Science Hui
We are holding a Stream Care Community Science Hui - come along and listen to our student presenters share their knowledge gathered over the past two years. You can help us create community aspirational goals for our local awa.
Each term the schools (Birkdale Intermediate, Verran Primary, Windy Ridge School and Birkenhead Primary) undertake a stream survey in which water quality and biology of the stream is measured. Fish traps are set the night before for the children to record, count, measure and release and macroinvertebrate monitoring is undertaken so the children can observe the insects, snails and crustacea that inhabit their local stream. Water quality is measured using Auckland Council provided Wai Care stream kits. All of this information is used to make an assessment of the quality of the stream. All data is entered into the Council Wai Care database and New Zealand FreshwaterFish Database.
